What happened to schrodinger's cat? It is not clear, what happened to his cat, since it is not documented if Schrödinger ever had a cat himself. He had a dog, however. I am talking about the Schrödinger's cat thought experiment, not if he owned a cat!
Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment in quantum mechanics, not a real cat. It was created by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935 to demonstrate the concept of superposition in quantum mechanics, and to show the absurdity of some of its predictions. In the experiment, a cat is placed in a sealed box with a device that could potentially kill it, such as a vial of poison. According to quantum mechanics, the cat would exist in a state of superposition, where it is both alive and dead until the box is opened and the cat's state is observed. The experiment is meant to highlight the fact that our understanding of reality is limited by our ability to observe it, and that our perception of the world is fundamentally subjective.
The cat ends up both dead and alive at the same time. Because the existence of a cat that is both dead and alive at the same time is absurd and does not happen in the real world, this thought experiment shows that wave function collapses are not just driven by conscious observers.
